If you find your facility in need of a泄漏预防，控制和对策（SPCC）计划, you may be in luck! A full-fledged SPCC plan can be a costly expense because of the need for a Professional Engineer to seal the plan, the need for site figures outlining the oil storage areas, piping, transfer areas, and a detailed description of the processes at the facility. Fortunately, there is an alternative for facilities that can reduce those costs by implementing a Tier I Qualified SPCC and self-certifying the plan if they meet some very specific criteria. “Self-certifying” means that someone within your company would need to be familiar enough with the rules of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Chapter 112 (40 CFR §112) to certify that the information within the plan is accurate and meets the requirements. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed the我合格的SPCC计划模板to fit the needs of these qualifying facilities that pose less of a liability to the environment and to bring some ease to the process of developing an SPCC Plan.
The Tier I Qualified SPCC Plan Template is a comprehensive document that lists every necessary SPCC rule requirement for Tier I qualified facilities. You can fill in and edit the document with facility-specific information from oil storage details to standard operating procedures and use the checklist portions of the template to ensure you have covered all associated requirements to create a valid and adequate SPCC Plan.
但是，在现场储油的每个设施都没有使用模板。具有较大数量或更大的油箱的设施，具有更大程度的警告，因为它们具有更大的漏油泄漏风险。要知道您的工具是否有资格使用Tier I模板，它必须符合资格标准列表：
- A total aboveground oil storage capacity of 10,000 U.S. gallons or less;
- 没有超过5,000美加的容量的地上储油容器;和
- 没有单个油放电超过1,000加仑，或
- 在SPCC计划认证之前，在任何12个月期间，在任何12个月内，任何12个月期间都没有超过42加仑的排放量，或者在SPCC计划的三年内进行了通航的水域或毗邻的海岸线。
储油的设施足够高，以触发SPCC计划的需要（1,320加仑的储油能力，但仍然位于10,000加仑（总加仑）（并且没有超过5,000加仑的容器）呼吸更容易，因为它们呈现出较小的风险。它们不需要由专业工程师密封的SPCC计划，模板文件加快了准备计划的过程，最终大大减少了准备SPCC计划的成本。
The template is downloadable from the EPA website. It is a great resource to ensure you meet all the requirements for the SPCC plan; however, just checking the boxes and filling in the form is not all that is required. You must still provide the documentation behind the template. For instance, you still need to document that your secondary containments are of sufficient capacity, develop and document tank inspections, and develop checklists for inspections, oil transfer operations, spill response, and spill cleanup.
这种流线型的准备方式为何解放军n, there’s no reason to delay. Your facility can be compliant in short order, and at a lower cost than most have come to expect compared to full SPCC plans.
